Support EIA-530
(V.36/RS-422), X.21,
or V.35 terminal
interfaces.

Sync network data
rates up to 2.048 Mbps.

Make dual coax
BNC (75-ohm) and
twisted-pair (120-ohm)
network connections.

MicroRACK Card
versions and X.21-only
model also available.

Standalone models
feature rate adaptation
for 256 kbps, 512 kbps,
and 1.024 Mbps.

Internal, external, and
receive loopback
clocking.

Easy to configure with
DIP switches and
jumpers.

T

hese Micro NTUs give you
everything you need to make

G.703 connections. Depending
on the model you order, you can
easily connect bridges or routers
with RS-530, X.21, or V.35
interfaces to G.703 networks. 

Best of all, the device’s

versatility in data rates and
interfaces makes it ideal for
a variety of LAN and WAN
environments. Use it three ways:

Use the Micro NTU as a
modem.

As a modem, it

sends unstructured,
synchronous 2.048-Mbps
data from a G.703/E1 network
to a router, bridge, or mux.

Use the Micro NTU as an
interface converter. 

In this

application, it accepts either
75-ohm (dual coax) or
120-ohm (twisted-pair)
G.703/E1 signals and
converts them so your
RS-530, X.21, or V.35
equipment can understand
them. Dual coax and modular
interfaces are located on the
NTU’s rear panel. All
interfaces are switch-
selectable and use an HD26
connector.

and rate adapter in one compact device.

Key Features

MICRO NTU

S

Use the Micro NTU as a rate
adapter.

In this application

you can use the Micro NTU
to connect a device with a
lower bandwidth (256 kbps,
512 kbps, or 1.024 Mbps ) to
a 2.048-Mbps G.703/E1 link.

The Micro NTU operates

from internal, external, or network
(received loop) clock sources.
In addition, the device includes
loopback diagnostics and five
front-panel LEDs for easy
monitoring.

To configure the Micro NTU,

just set the externally accessible
DIP switches and internal
jumpers. These switches and
jumpers enable you to set
clocking, data rate, and test
options. 

Choose from standalone

or card versions. Because the
standalone model features both
75- and 120-ohm connections,
no special adapters are needed.

The card version features

all the benefits of the standalone
unit—without the multiplexor or
V.35 capabilities—and has a mid-
plane architecture for full hot
swappability. It’s available in two

versions: 75-ohm dual coax and
120-ohm twisted pair. The 75-
ohm model includes dual BNC
connectors and a DB15 connector
for X.21 terminal connections.
The 120-ohm model includes
a modular jack and a DB25
connector for RS-530 (V.36/
RS-422) terminal connections.

application for the Micro NTU,

. However, a more

typical application than that is to
use the Micro NTU to connect a
bridge or router—without a native
G.703 interface—to a 2.048-Mbps
G.703 network. Used this way, the
bridge or router may have an
RS-530 (V.36/RS-422), V.35, or X.21
interface, and the G.703 network
may be coax or twisted pair.

The Micro NTU can be

deployed overseas as well. It’s
CE approved, it can be used in
most European countries, and
the standalone AC models come
with switch-selectable 115-/
230-VAC power supplies.
